Over the holidays staff and patrons of Elite Shooting Sports took part in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program to help bring joy to children in need. The Toys for Tots Program is an official activity of the U.S. Marine Corps and an official mission of the Marine Corps Reserve established to provide Christmas toys to needy children throughout the nation.

Elite Shooting Sports, an indoor shooting range located in Prince William County, Virginia, and an NSSF member shooting range, recently shared on social media a heartfelt “thanks” to all those who donated to the program.

“Elite Shooting Sports was honored to be a part of this year’s U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program. Our friends with the Greater Manassas Volunteer Rescue Squad station picked up all of the toys and gifts to be taken for distribution to the families who need them most, just in time for #Christmas! A huge Thank You to all those who donated! Your gifts will make a difference in the lives of many, many little ones this holiday season! #toysfortots #seasonofgiving”

Too often negative stories of criminals misusing firearms overshadow the stories that define gun owners values that make a true difference for safety, community, conservation and tradition. This is but one example among countless others that exemplify our shared American values. #GunOwnersCare
